On Appeal from the Criminal District Court Dallas County, Texas, Trial Court Cause No. F07-49610-LH.

Before Chief Justice THOMAS and Justices MORRIS and FRANCIS.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


In this case, Ronney Murphy waived a jury and pleaded guilty to sexual assault of a child. The trial court assessed punishment at five years' imprisonment. On appeal, appellant's attorney filed a brief in which she concludes the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). The brief presents a professional evaluation of the record showing why, in effect, there are no arguable grounds to advance. See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 811 (Tex.Crim.App. [Panel Op.] 1978). Counsel delivered a copy of the brief to appellant. We advised appellant of his right to file a pro se response, but he did not file a pro se response. We have reviewed the record and counsel's brief. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824 (Tex.Crim.App. 2005). We agree the appeal is frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal. We affirm the trial court's judgment.

We note the record shows appellant signs his name Ronnie Murphy.
